The Hip Hop Nutcracker with MC Kurtis Blow

Tue, Nov 23 | 8 pm

Bass Concert Hall

Everything old is new again. Tchaikovsky?s 129-year-old ballet is reimagined as a holiday dance spectacle in The Hip Hop Nutcracker, arriving at Bass Concert Hall on November 23. The production features hip hop pioneer Kurtis ?The Breaks? Blow, the first rapper to be signed by a major label in 1979. 42 years and a heart transplant later, this hip hop founding father is still performing as MC of The Hip Hop Nutcracker. A cast of a dozen all-star dancers, an on-stage DJ and an electric violinist turn the beloved score on its head.
